Rick Santorum’s Abuse of The Republican Primary Process

-
USA Today, 2-28-12
LIVONIA, Mich. (AP) – Mitt Romney on Tuesday denounced rival Rick Santorum's automated phone calls urging Democrats to vote against the former Massachusetts governor, calling the tactic "outrageous and disgusting."

During yesterday’s close and heated Michigan Republican Primary for President, Rick Santorum’s campaign ran a RoboCall program “asking Democrats to vote for him in the Republican Primary". This action is clearly an act of desperation and also a hostile act upon the Party he seeks to nominate him for President.
-
Any Republican who calls upon the Michigan Democrats, made up heavily of Obama’s Government Motors GM-UAW membership, to vote in a Republican Primary is clearly not deserving of Republican nomination for anything, no less President!
-
The Virginia Legislature just addressed and then let stand the Open Primary Process. A major reason not to adopt a Party Enrollment System was that “it’s never really been abused”. Hello! Santorum is now the Poster Boy of such abuse and if he were on the Primary ballet in Virginia next Tuesday there’s every reason to believe he would abuse the system here also.
-
A Party Enrollment System enables voters to associate themselves with the platform, values and objectives of the party of their choice at a particular point in time. This personal choice increases the probability that party candidates will be chosen consistent with the party and its membership and not to entities outside the party seeking to disrupt and misdirect the membership’s choice.
